A day at the Opera Garnier

Do not miss this amazing place. Tours in English are offered on Wednesdays at 11:30 and 14:30. Get to the ticket office at least a half hour before and bring cash for your ticket; the credit card machines are often out of order. The tour lasts one and a half hours and is very entertaining and informative.
Here are some images:





Box Five is on permanent reserve for the Opera's most famous visitor...
The Phantom!
After the tour you can wander at will. We visited the gift shops and, seeing this storm brewing, made a dash for lunch at Cafe de la Paix.
